This really is a small revolution here. Making us see the world differently than we came to it eighty-two minutes earlier.

...what we get is a relationship handled with grace, humor and sexiness. On the surface, this may appear to be a fetish film, but really, it's a coming-of-age love story.

| Jun 30, 2020

A captivating story of love, loss, and personal exploration.

Life is short; there are much better ways to fritter away 90 minutes of it than by watching Gerontophilia.

| Original Score: 1.75/5 | Jul 20, 2019

The tears are false, the performance is hammy, it's all rather ridiculous, but it still hurts a little, and then you remember what makes [director Bruce] LaBruce so special.

| Nov 18, 2017

As it is, it's hard to judge this as much more than a PSA for certain audience members: Hey everyone, gerontophilia is a thing that exists.

| Original Score: 6/10 | May 7, 2015

...there's something lacking at Gerontophilia's core.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 7, 2015

While it gets credit for audacity, the film suffers from amateurish performances and ignores the ethical ramifications of its characters' behavior.

| May 4, 2015

This is a comedy that encourages viewers to be impulsive, and pointedly seek love and acceptance outside of "normal" social institutions, especially when it comes to family and romance.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 1, 2015

Mr. Borden, an acclaimed Canadian stage actor and playwright, turns in a slyly entertaining performance. But the relationship between Lake and Melvyn feels a bit more one-sided than perhaps was intended.

| Apr 30, 2015

Gerontophilia has the authentic feel of a little classic.

| Apr 30, 2015

Gerontophilia is rather reminiscent of a student film, and I don't mean that it has the fire of youth. It is restrained by a rank amateurism that borders on embarrassing.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 30, 2015

There are the makings of a poignant Harold and Maude-style drama here, but the movie is so amateurish and eager to be shocking, it just winds up feeling creepy.

| Original Score: C- | Apr 29, 2015

Katie Boland is ... a force of nature as Lake's feminist ex - who gets off on reciting the names of her favorite female revolutionaries. But neither she nor Borden can mitigate this film's ultimately creepy premise.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 28, 2015

LaBruce ... [is] angling either for tragedy or an arch jab at the coldness of sexual conquest. I only wish he had let his conceit ripen long enough for us to tell.

| Apr 28, 2015

Better camerawork and a lower gross-out factor than usual seem to have taken the oomph out of bad boy Bruce LaBruce, whose Gerontophilia sports a great title and a funny opening before going all limp.

| Apr 27, 2015

It may be that, in self-consciously targeting a wider audience (as LaBruce has happily confessed was his aim here), the director's lost a little of his edge in the process.

| Original Score: C | Apr 27, 2015

This tonally uncertain romance is both surprisingly conventional and tame.

| Apr 27, 2015

Gently challenging (it is the first of LaBruce's films without any sexually explicit content), beautifully shot and rather engaging at times.

| Apr 27, 2015

The film surfs smoothly on good vibes and lulling moods; Borden, a majestic presence, deserves sterner stuff to wrangle with.
